— Data not available. ¹ Percent positive by urinalysis, January through December of each year. Percentages are rounded. ² “Any drug” includes cocaine, opiates, PCP, marijuana, amphetamines, methadone, methaqualone, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and propoxyphene. ³Data for 2000 are unweighted and not based on probability sampling. ⁴In 2001, the definition of “any drug” pertains to any one of the NIDA-5 drugs (cocaine, opiates, marijuana, methamphetamine, and PCP), thus these numbers are not directly comparable to prior years. ⁵Data before the third quarter of 1998 pertains to Manhattan only.
